Original: Plant-based diets produce 75% less greenhouse gas than meat-heavy diets. Beef specifically generates 60 kg of CO2 per ki

A widely shared comparison of food emissions states that plant-based diets produce 75% less greenhouse gas than meat-heavy diets, with beef the worst offender at roughly 60 kg of CO2 per kilogram produced. The figures align with established research on food's climate footprint, renewing debate about diet choices and sustainability.

Why now: Growing public concern about the climate impact of food and meat consumption keeps these emissions figures in circulation.
